What is the discriminant of a quadratic function?

The form of the quadratic is ax2+bx+c, so the discriminant is b2-4ac.


When is it better to have the quadratic function in vertex form instead of standard form?

The quadratic function is better represented in vertex form when you need to identify the vertex of the parabola quickly, as it directly reveals the coordinates of the vertex ((h, k)). This form is particularly useful for graphing, as it allows you to see the maximum or minimum point of the function immediately. Additionally, if you're interested in transformations such as shifts and reflections, vertex form clearly outlines how the graph is altered.


In the vertex form of a quadratic function y equals a the quantity of x-b squared plus c what does the b tell you about the graph?

The standard form of the quadratic function in (x - b)2 + c, has a vertex of (b, c). Thus, b is the units shifted to the right of the y-axis, and c is the units shifted above the x-axis.


What is standard the form of a quadratic equation?

Ax 2+Bx+c=0


What is the difference between quadratic function and quadratic formula?

A quadratic function is a function where a variable is raised to the second degree (2). Examples would be x2, or for more complexity, 2x2+4x+16. The quadratic formula is a way of finding the roots of a quadratic function, or where the parabola crosses the x-axis. There are many ways of finding roots, but the quadratic formula will always work for any quadratic function. In the form ax2+bx+c, the Quadratic Formula looks like this: x=-b±√b2-4ac _________ 2a The plus-minus means that there can 2 solutions.

What different information do you get from vertex form and quadratic equation in standard form?

The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.

What is a technique used to rewrite a quadratic function in standard form to vertex from?

A common technique to rewrite a quadratic function in standard form ( ax^2 + bx + c ) to vertex form ( a(x - h)^2 + k ) is called "completing the square." This involves taking the coefficient of the ( x ) term, dividing it by 2, squaring it, and then adding and subtracting this value inside the function. By rearranging, you can express the quadratic as a perfect square trinomial plus a constant, which directly gives you the vertex coordinates ( (h, k) ).
